Oral antibiotic bowel preparation (OABP), consisting of neomycin plus metronidazole and\/or erythromycin, has been demonstrated to reduce the rate of SSIs from colorectal surgery by up to 67%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a single-center, retrospective study conducted at an academic hospital for the time period from January to October 2023.

We found that outpatients were more likely to receive OABP than inpatients (89% vs 62%; P = 0.0003), and more patients received concomitant mechanical bowel preparation in the OABP group (85%) than in the no-OABP group (65%), with a P value of 0.0053. Additionally, those without OABP had a longer length of stay (5.4 days with OABP vs 8.9 days without OABP; P = 0.0008).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There appears to be an association between use of OABP and SSI rate in patients undergoing colorectal surgery.
